Chapter 70 Traveling together
Xie Mubai's dark pupils suddenly tightened, and an extremely sharp knife appeared in his palm.
Just as he was about to take action, he saw the farmer's face suddenly change.
He was bleeding from all seven orifices, and his bloated body fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
Looking at the blood on the ground, Da Niuniang turned pale with fright and quickly covered the child's eyes.
"Dead." Hu Dahai stepped forward and sniffed his breath, then said expressionlessly.
The old farmer died, but no one was happy.
Being able to kill and impersonate court officials, and even take the saltpeter mines for himself, this person's background must be extremely powerful.
Even if he didn't say anything, everyone would have guessed it.
Apart from the Third Prince who is currently in the limelight, no one in the Wei Dynasty has such great ability, not even the dog emperor's confidant, Marquis of Xiangyang!
He also took great pains to gain the throne, planning for many years and playing such a big game.
"What should we do now?" Shen Wan frowned slightly and turned to look at Xie Mubai.
Not only did he kill his minions and make him lose the saltpeter mine he had worked so hard to manage, I guess the Third Prince even wanted to eat them now.
Although the villain is extremely smart, he is still inevitably at a disadvantage when he meets the son of luck.
"We'll take it one step at a time. It's no big deal." Xie Mubai smiled faintly, with a strange cold light in his eyes. "Anyway, even if he doesn't die, that person won't let us go. It's just a matter of time."
Hu Dahai's eyes darkened.
He knew that what Xie Mubai said was true.
From the moment they approached the saltpeter mine, the Third Prince would not spare any of their lives.
"You should take care of the body and don't let anyone find it." Xie Mubai glanced at him and said calmly, "We can't stay here for long. We will leave early tomorrow morning."
This is the Third Prince's territory. If a real fight breaks out, they, a group of fugitives, will definitely lose.
"What about the saltpeter?" Shen Wan asked anxiously, "Should we just leave it there and let that bastard get away with it?"
If I had known this would happen, I would have just blown it up.
"Things have become so serious, do you think that person would dare to take on this hot potato?" Xie Mubai's lips curled slightly, a cold smile spreading across his beautiful face. "Don't worry, even if you give it to him with both hands now, he wouldn't dare touch it again."
"Not only did he not dare to touch it, he didn't even dare to pursue the matter, unless he wanted to let everyone know that he was going to rebel."
"This time, he really has to swallow his anger.
After hearing this, Shen Wan's hanging heart was reluctantly put down.
It seems that now all Hu Dahai needs to do is to clean up the matter.
I have to say that Hu Dahai is a talented person.
He handled the matter cleanly, without leaving even a strand of hair at the scene.
In addition, Mr. Lin and others were wearing casual clothes when they came and concealed their identities, so no one knew that the "county magistrate" had been to the villa.
As for the mysterious disappearance of the "county magistrate", it has nothing to do with them.
Early the next morning, when the convicts heard the news that they had to set off immediately, they couldn't help but look disappointed.
The food and accommodation are good at the inn in the county town, but you’re leaving before the bed is even warm?
"Brother Dao is injured so badly, I'm afraid he can't travel far." An official frowned and said to Hu Dahai.
His ribs were already broken, and now he was shot by an arrow. Let alone traveling long distances, even walking normally is a problem.
But if we leave him here, what if the remaining followers of Mr. Lin turn their anger on him?
Hu Dahai thought for a moment and said, "You guys carry him on the road."
"When we get to Chenliu County, we'll place him there."
Chenliu County is Qin Chu's hometown, only a hundred miles away from here.
No matter how weak these people are, they can still survive after a few days.
He is also familiar with the people at the post station over there, so there shouldn't be any problem placing Scarface there.
Having said this, the officer had nothing more to say and could only walk on with the scarred face.
The weather was so hot that I was sweating profusely after walking for a while.
Seeing this, Shen Wan came over to replace the officer pushing the cart.
Although Xie Murong didn't know how to push the cart, he was fanning her with a palm-leaf fan.
"No need to fan." Shen Wan smiled, "You're very tired like this."
Xie Murong smiled sweetly: "No matter how tired I am, I am not as tired as you, Fifth Sister-in-law. You are the one who works the hardest pushing Fifth Brother."
"Fifth brother, you must treat your fifth sister-in-law well from now on."
"If you do anything to let her down, I'll be the first one to not forgive you!"
Xie Mubai couldn't help but be speechless.
Is this really his selfish sister?
In just a few days, she became the clown girl's little follower.
"Look at what you said. The prince would never do that." Big Girl's mother laughed at the side, "Look, all he has in his eyes is the young lady. How could he have room for anyone else?"
Even Shen Wan, the person involved, didn't believe this.
The villain's eyes were fixed on her because she was pushing the cart and his sight happened to fall there.
Xie Mubai looked away immediately, as if his secrets had been exposed.
Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds from behind.
Shen Wan’s eyes tightened.
Soon, a beautiful carriage stopped in front of them.
The half-worn silk curtain was lifted, revealing Qin Chu, dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting upright in the carriage.
"Why is it you?" Shen Wan looked surprised.
She was very sure that no one informed him when they set out, so how did he catch up with them?
"I'm going back to Chenliu, so I'll naturally pass by here." Young Master Qin smiled gently. "By the way, I've borrowed a carriage from a relative. You and the prince, come aboard."
It was relaxing and cool in the carriage, much more comfortable than walking in the hot sun.
Shen Wan was about to speak, but saw Xie Mubai's face darken: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but it's not necessary."
Seeing him like this, Shen Wan nodded and smiled: “I can just go by myself.”
Just because they don't want to ride in a carriage doesn't mean others don't want to.
As soon as she saw Qin Chu approaching in a carriage, Sun immediately rushed forward, twisting her voluptuous waist and saying coquettishly, "Cousin, my feet hurt so much."
"If you don't come soon, I doubt these legs will be broken!"
As she spoke, she climbed onto the car.
Young Master Qin's face changed, and he said nervously, "Cousin, boys and girls don't sit at the same table when they're seven years old..."
"Haha, you can let Shen Wan come, why can't I?" Sun climbed onto the carriage without any hesitation and sneered, "Besides, she is a married woman, so it seems that you should avoid suspicion, right?"
Qin Chu was speechless.
He thought about it and got out of the car.
When Sun saw this, her face turned pale with anger.
hateful!
She thought that if they were riding in the same car, there might be some sparks, but she didn't expect that this bastard would rather walk than be with her!
If you don’t want to sit, then don’t sit. She won’t leave anyway!
Qin Chu got out of the car and hurried to Shen Wan’s side.
He was about to say something, but was frightened by Xie Mubai's cold gaze and shut his mouth.
Seeing that he was really pitiful, Shen Wan quickened her pace and left him far behind.
"Why are you like this?" She frowned and glanced at the villain. "He just wanted to repay a favor. He didn't mean any harm."
Hearing this, Xie Mubai subconsciously looked at her a few more times.
For some reason, he would feel inexplicably irritated and uneasy whenever someone of the opposite sex approached her.
He thought, this is a disease and needs to be treated!
Seeing that he was silent, Shen Wan didn't say anything else.
Inadvertently, she saw Scarface not far away.
I saw him lying on a stretcher, his head tilted with some effort, staring diagonally ahead with a vicious look on his face.
Looking in the direction, I saw Zhao walking in front with a dazed look on her face.
Her complexion was very bad, and she was skin and bones, completely different from her plump and round appearance in the past.
It seems that Scarface was really heartbroken by her.
Suddenly, Zhao bent over and vomited painfully.
